Miami is now “version 2” in Virtual Earth

About two months after the first four “version 2” cities were released, Microsoft has just unveiled Miami 2.0. Like the other four cities, it features a massive increase in the number of buildings, along with a whole bunch of 3D trees. According to the Virtual Earth 3D blog, Miami now has 46,344 3D buildings (up from about 4,000) along with “hundreds of thousands” of trees.

To be honest, I’m a bit disappointed with the pace of these new cities. They’ve bragged a few times that these cities are generated through a “100% automated process”, so I expected a few new cities per month. To only have one new city after two months is a bit of a letdown. That being said, Miami looks awesome and I can’t wait to see more!
